Recent advances in spin crossover Fe(II) tetrahedral metal–organic cages and their solid-state applications
Tetrahedral Fe(II)-based metal–organic cages represent a distinctive family of spin crossover materials that display tunable magnetic bistability in the solid state under thermal, chemical or photonic stimuli.
Advances in atomistic modeling for epitaxial growth of nitride semiconductors: a DFT-based approach
This highlight presents advances in computational studies for epitaxial crystal growth of nitride semiconductors, showcasing case studies that reveal realistic reconstructions of GaN(0001) and AlN(0001) surfaces.
A highly hydrogen-bonded {Cu2Co} cyanide complex exhibiting high room-temperature proton conduction
A highly hydrogen-bonded {Cu2Co} cyanide complex was reported to exhibit temperature- and humidity-dependent proton conduction behavior with a superionic conductivity of around 10−3 S cm−1 at room temperature.
3D ED for the localization of cations in potassium exchanged and partially dehydrated nano Y zeolite
3D ED was used to localize K+ cations in synthetic nano-faujasite. Applying dynamical theory enabled accurate nanoscale characterization despite small crystal size. A comparison with Rietveld refinement and Monte Carlo simulations was successful.

Cross-correlated experimental and theoretical characterisation of orpiment As2S3, a potential material for new advanced technological applications
Orpiment As2S3 presents a layered structure with a buckled geometrical configuration. Several properties of interest of this material were deeply characterised by using a cross-correlated, multi-methodological experimental and theoretical approach.
